CHAPTER XVII
1/19


TWO BROTHERS If has been said that Stephen Dallison, when unable to get his golf on Saturdays, went to his club, and read reviews.

The two forms of exercise, in fact, were very similar: in playing golf you went round and round; in reading reviews you did the same, for in course of time you were assured of coming to articles that, nullified articles already read.

And to be both sound and young was to Stephen an everyday necessity.

He was essentially a Cambridge man, springy and undemonstrative, with just that air of taking a continual pinch of really perfect snuff.
